DEVlCE FOR EXHIBITING NECKSCARFS, 84,6.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 266,636, dated October31, 1882.

' Application filed May 27, less.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, LYMAN D. MINOR, of NewYork, in the county ot'New York and State of New York, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Devices for ExhibitingNeckscarfs, 850.; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull,clcar, and exact description of the invention, which will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the'accompanying drawings, which form apart of this specification.

This invention relates to stands or devices for exhibiting neckscartsand like articles in show-windows, cases, on shelves, counters, andother places, and has for its.object to provide a simple, attractive,inexpensive, and eflicicnt device.

To this end it consists in certain improvements in the construction ofthe same.

In the drawings, Figures 1 is a perspective view of the device complete;Fig. 2, a rear view with the scarf in position, and Fig. 3 a side viewof the device alone.

Referring by letter to the drawings, A designates a base or stand of anysuitable construction, and having a central opening, B.

U is the support or holder, which is formed of a single piece of wiretwisted together from its end upwardly, as at D, to form a strongstandard, above which are formed two outwardly and rearwardly extendingbranches, E E, curved over at their top, and each extending forwardly,outwardly, and downwardly, as at F F, from which the wire convergesupwardly to form a supportingtongue, G, having a curved apex or point,II, which latter is the center of the wire.

In practice the ends I I of the wire are removably placed in the base A,and the back (No model.)

| board of the scarf is placed between the tongue G and rests F F,resting on the point where the latter turn up to form the former. Thisposition gives the face of the scarf an inclined position and displaysit to best advantage.

I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. As a new article ofmanufacture, a support for displaying scarfs and the like, consisting ofa single piece of wire the ends of which are twisted together to formthe shank or standard, above which are two outwardly and rearwardlyextending branches curved over and downwardly to form a back, from whichthey converge upwardly to form a supportingtongue, the apex or point ofwhich is the center of the wire, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with a stand or base of suitable construction,having a central opening, of a support or holder for displayingneckscarfs and the like, formed of a single piece of wire, the ends ofwhich are twisted together to form a standard and passed through saidopening, the central portion of the wire being so formed as to provide aback and supporting-tongue at the top, substantially as sett'orth.

3. The combination, with the stand or base having a central opening, ofthe support or holder formed of wire suitably bent to con form to theshape of the article, and having a twisted stem or standard the ends ofwhich are inserted into the said opening, as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto attixedmy signature in presence of two witnesses.

LYMAN D. MINOR.
